Windows not communicating with Linux
I realize this is probably a Windows issue - if it is, feel free to move it to General.
Now, I have 2 computers, we'll call them slack (Slackware 192.1168.0.1) and win (WinME 192.168.0.2) slack is connected to my cable modem, and has 2 nics win is connected to slack via a crossover cable Herein lies the problem. slack will communicate flawlessly with win Code:
[scuzzy@slackdell /home/scuzzy]$ ping 192.168.0.2 Also - I've tried win2k - same issue I'm going to, next weeked, get Knoppix and check the integrity of the nic - any othr tests that can be done right now? [EDIT] Just checked the integrity of the nic in both computers by hooking them to my cable modem - they both pull and ip and can route (browse the web) fine [/edit] |
You will only need samba for file sharing. If you are attempting to connect to the internet through the Slack box, you will need to configure NAT as well as ip forwarding on the Slackware box for it to work. If you are pinging out to the internet from the M$ machines, the Slack box has no way to serve that sort of request the way it is configured, so it drops the packets.

If you have a firewall configured on the Slack box it could be blocking IMCP traffic when trying to ping from the windows box.
